In 2020, we have produced 2.5 billion GB of data, and this number is in increasing order. Now, how we handle all this data today will also define how we will handle data in our digital future.
Therefore, to shape the future of society, this panel discussion investigates the data economy we are living in and discusses the roles different actors will be playing in it, such as governments, the private sector and the citizens. Striving to adopt a more human-centric
approach, where the needs, desires
and abilities of the web user are at
the centre of attention, the invited
speakers answer questions such as
“How can we provide a trusted, fair and innovative data economy?”, “To what extent do business innovation and the protection of individual rights oppose each other?” and “How can citizens engage themselves to actively fight for
their digital rights?”.
This event was organized by Diplo
Foundation via its Geneva Internet
Platform, together with the European
Union Delegation to the United Nations in Geneva, the Permanent Mission of Switzerland to the UN in Geneva, the Permanent Mission of Slovenia to the UN Office and other international organisations in Geneva in the capacity as Presidency of the Council of the EU.

This webinar was hosted by Carbon Re together with the UNESCO International Research Centre on Artificial Intelligence (IRCAI), in association with London Climate Action Week and with the generous support of HumaneAI-Net.
According to the Climate Change Committee, greenhouse gas emissions from manufacturing and construction were 66 MtCO2 in 2018 – 12% of the UK total. If there is a lesson from the pandemic it is that we need to multiply our efforts to mitigate climate change, if we are to avoid economic, social and political disaster. Yet, we can’t achieve net zero goals without decarbonizing manufacturing and construction. We need to tackle the hard problems today. This means industrial policies, R&D funding, business support and innovation that accelerate the zero-carbon transition needed to address these challenges.
